Subject: perf: Build with make -C <Linux O=...>

My setup includes Linux kernel repository and Buildroot.
I build Linux kernel with make O=<Linux O=...> and then
when I try to build perf by running

	make -j1 V=1 JOBS=1 \
		-C <Linux O=...> \
		CROSS_COMPILE=".../i586-buildroot-linux-uclibc-" \
		DESTDIR="..." tools/perf_install

where <Linux O=...> is a patch to output folder of built Linux kernel,
I got wrong path in perf during build, so, instead of tools/perf it becomes
tools/perf/tools/perf.

Note, it fulfills my purposes with minimal features supported,
that's why not every library got "fixed".

Below is the patch which helped me to achieve above.

I'm pretty sure it's not the best solution. Anyway, would like to hear any
ideas how to do this better.
